Re: [pcre-dev] 16-bit pcre_version() and error messages?

Hi,

No. There is no nice way to define 16 bit strings.

const char *str = "String"
converted to
const pcre_uchar str[] = { PCRE_S, PCRE_t, PCRE_r, PCRE_i, PCRE_n, PCRE_g, 0 };

This is the only compiler safe way we are aware of. We did the conversion when necessary, but error messages are just too much hassle...

Yes, plain ASCII English strings. I don't think localization ever planned.
